Israel's 26th Knesset: Live updates

US President Donald Trump has declared that the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran has been "effectively over" militarily, with no imminent plans for further strikes. Trump stated, "Iran militarily is effectively over. We're just keeping it the status quo, and we're doing that really at the behest of countries that are their neighbours." The president, accompanied by three aircraft carriers, emphasized the US military presence in the region.

Iranian officials, however, are rejecting the notion of a resolution to the conflict. Iran's top security official, Mohsen Rezaei, has demanded that the US "surrender" to Iran's seven conditions. Rezaei dismissed claims of bilateral talks between the two nations as "fake news" and "imaginary talks," according to reports from Al Jazeera.
